Manchester United have announced the signing of Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee of £59.7m.

The Argentine winger moves to Old Trafford following weeks of speculation, just six days ahead of the end of the transfer window.

He joins Luke Shaw, Ander Herrera and Marcos Rojo as Louis van Gaal’s new signings this summer, with more expected to follow before next week.

And Man United fans have been quick to tell their Arsenal counterparts that their marquee signing is a better acquisition than Alexis Sanchez, who joined the Gunners from Barcelona earlier this summer.
